LOS ANGELES — The worlds of sports and entertainment came together on Wednesday night at the ESPY Awards, where the Miami Heat scored the top honor of best team for its National Basketball Association championship. The Heat's top player, LeBron James, won the ESPY for best male athlete at the televised awards show held by sports cable TV network ESPN. The star player was in Las Vegas and appeared via a satellite hookup, but two of his teammates - Juwan Howard and Mike Miller - were on hand to accept the team's award. They took the stage at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles and thanked the fans who voted for them. The night's other key award, best female athlete, went to Brittney Griner, who led the Baylor University Bears basketball team to a national championship in their 40-0 season. The ESPYs, in their 20th year, are given out by ESPN to the best athletes, plays, teams and moments in sports, and are attended annually not just by top athletes but Hollywood stars. Alongside football players like Tim Tebow and Drew Brees were actresses including Jessica Biel and Hayden Panettiere and actor Rob Lowe. — Reuters
